HOPE – SUPPORT – NEW LIFE
The Australian Institute for neuro rehabilitation are a charity that works with solving problems associated with disability as a result of neurological disorders and impairments due to brain and spinal cord injury.
Their programs focus on:
Equipment: They raise awareness and make available facilities for patients who are on intensive care and who need the technology assisted equipment and exercise for recovery and aid in their neurological disorder, such as the use of the latest technology to do with bionic robotic assisted therapy equipment support for limbs and physical disability manoeuvrability and exercise of which without those means leaves a person feeling hopeless and as you can imagine having to lead a very difficult life indeed. The neurological equipment also includes software that involves virtual reality and gaming software to do with the neuro-rehabilitation processes.
Resources: These are follow-up programmes which support the patient once they have been through the hospitalisation rehab process and are back home, however still need the support and guidance in management of the exercise both physical and psychologically. They offer services to centres and support groups and organisations involved in the neurological operative which need their support around Australia.
Research: The technology assisted exercise programs are based on extensive scientific and health economics tests and evaluations whose aim is to raise awareness and provide the facts and improvements where things are taken into consideration such as for example the value of the particular purpose and cost of the technological equipment and the long-term benefits such as in savings and the usefulness of a particular piece of technology assisted exercise equipment and the further development and scientific input towards improving its function to make it even more beneficial for patients.
